Hive Creative Team

What do we do?

In short, we do anything and everything deemed “creative.” Our team is comprised of areas that focus on: Design and Art, Communications/Marketing, Video Production, Social Media, Photography and Audio Production. We assist with many of the projects/initiatives in the college such as international and domestic recruitment, LLP marketing, ASB promotion/development, alumni communications, event promotions and supporting materials, getting the word out about faculty, staff and student accomplishments, podcast series, building and digital signage, and much, much more.

Who are we?

Our team currently consists of three full-time staff and 13 student staff. Jennifer Allen heads up the creative side of Hive as Director of Communications & Creative Services, Shaan Azeem is our Art Director, and John Buckman is Director of Video Production and Photography. Since most of you have worked with us before, we wanted to introduce you to our student staff - where a lot of the magic and talent you see comes from.

Each student was asked: If you were an animal, which would you be and why?
